Tomtom Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 Can we stop the Josh Harrison expirament. With the exception of a few good defensie plays, this guy has done nothing offensively. This is another Cesar Hernanez! Should have gone after Adam Frazier to play 2nd base! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KipWellsFan Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 Experiment? He doesn't have many at-bats, and the other choices aren't great either. Leury or Mendick. Or some frankenstein infield with Moncada or Burger at 2B, which will probably not work. Our defence is bad enough already. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Picking him up was a typical JR move, trying to win on the cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankly our best hope is that he's not completely washed and can put up a 1.5 WAR season somehow. Our other options are trash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spumoni Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 My guess is he is DFA'd around a similar time Eaton was last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s done, and it’s sad he was even considered a possible option. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 At the end of the day, yes Josh Harrison is a pretty awful player, but his being on the roster isn't the biggest problem here. When you are looking at the 11th or 12 position player on a roster, this is what you should get. The problem is they didn't upgrade the pitching, at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenSox Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 (edited) We have utility infielders starting at 2B. That may not be the biggest problem, but it is a problem. They didn't need another utility infielder anyway. Edited April 29, 2022 by GreenSox 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would still love to have Madrigal on this team for the next ~5 months and/or 5 years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the fact that they wasted money on players of Josh Harrison's caliber is a big issue. Harrison, Leury, VV, Cueto. That stuff adds up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ron883 Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 Does anybody else think that Yolbert is probably a better player than Harrison and Leury at this point? Defense was always his calling card, so I'd imagine he's at least equal to Harrison in that department. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Projection systems already believe Yolbert is a better hitter than Leury, if that's something you're into. I definitely think it's possible (and maybe likely?) he's a better player than both of those guys at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
